Dochee the ewok, huh? I'd really like to see a better shot of that ewok in particular. I'm just getting a little bit of a suspiscion that it might be a repaint. It could be the SAGA hang-glider ewok (the coloring is similar), or perhaps a repaint of one of the two new ewoks for this year.

The Wicket in this set looks a little strange. At least from a paint standpoint. But it still looks like the POTF2 sculpt.

I'm thinking that the Chewie in the set is either the ROTS Chewbacca or the Cloud City escape figure. Hopefully the Han Solo is the VTSC version minus the trenchcoat. That's actually a nice figure.

As for the Imperials? An AT-ST, 2 x speeder bikes, AT-ST Driver, 2 x Biker Scouts and a Stormtrooper? We're getting some decent value even if these are mostly repacks.

I think it's safe to say that the only new tooling you'll find in this set is the fabulous log. How often can we say that on a Star Wars board?

I'd buy the AT-ST, ewoks, and "grassy" troopers anyway. I figure those are worth at least $40 right there. I could take or leave Chewie, but a coatless Endor Han... OK, sounds good. Even if I were to chuck Han and Chewie into a wood chipper I feel like I'm getting my money's worth, as the DO WANT stuff is close enough to the asking price that the DO NOT WANT stuff is inconsequential.

I paid $25 for a black Scout Trooper with a black bike. Obviously, I am not too smart. However, $50 for two troopers, two bikes, and other stuff? Good other stuff I actually want? YES PLEASE. I hope they do more with this concept going forward and include slightly more new stuff. Not that I expect my Endor Dream Box with Sanyassan Marauders, Duloks, blurrgs, baga/bordok/whatever, Wilford Brimley, and so forth to happen... but I am nothing if not stupidly hopeful.

Seriously though, it's better than I'd expect for the price. It's roughly $80 worth of product in a $50 box, and some of that product is pretty gosh darn enticing. Plus... EWOK REPAINTS. Finally. (And no I'm not being facetious.) The only way this thing could be better is if they included a third log and some sort of platform to make a makeshift Ewok Village out of it.

Here's hoping just enough people are turned off by this so I can easily get one of my own, and by one, I mean two. (And by two, I mean like seven on clearance if it goes that far. At which point I'll probably trade away the AT-STs...)
